Value Based Fees for Interior Designers?

 

According to ASID, about 70% of clients prefer a fixed fee.

 

What are Value Based Fees?

 

They are fees based on what results you produce for your client instead of how many hours you work.  You establish what they value before you make your proposal and you price according to what they want to receive in terms of results.

 

Join Gail Doby, ASID and Erin Weir, Founders of Design Success University, at the upcoming 10-Week Tele-Conference - Value Based Fees Series that begins on Monday, January 25th.

As an example, CLICK HERE to go to our Facebook Fan page to self-promote yourself by uploading images of your artwork, logo, or perhaps a room that you have designed....so long as you have the rights to the image.  You can even link to your blog or website. 

 

We've "opened our doors" at our Fan page so you may experience what it is like to self-promote yourself.
